Tuesday Magic: Lake Michigan at Dusk

A few days ago I took this photo with the setting sun’s light providing a few clouds with some extra color!  If you take a look at the bottom of the photo you can see that some trees are ‘lit up’ from the sun.  As Lake Michigan is East, I usually get sunrise pictures; however, sometimes the sunset allows for just a bit of light to shine from the west and onto the clouds and trees, making for an interesting photo.

There is something magical about this picture; to me, anyway.  Did you spot the lone sailboat on Lake Michigan?  How about the plane in the sky heading towards Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport?  This is what I utterly adore about taking photos of the sky over Lake Michigan:  these little extra tidbits that make the picture that more interesting.

I hope your Tuesday is filled with magical moments!

    If you’re facing the lake at sunset, the sun is behind you and makes for a fascinating effect. Nice shot!
